PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Idris2002]

Big John countered that he would send Corbyn in a taxi to wrest governance directly from the Queen. Something along those lines anyway.

Yeah, like you said. A taxi. That must be it. Yes.

More prisons, hurray. Works a treat in the US, right?

What a sickening admission of defeat. Can’t offer people opportunities, respect or fund activities to divert them from trouble, just the more costly option of incarceration. Hold them under until they stop breathing. Can’t do any better, can’t think bigger. Hopeless cunt tories.

Forget investing in decent Probation or rehabilition services (and don't get m started on lack of mental health provision), just go straight to more imprisionment!

It was a very clever title and it's a shame that the consensus amongst the moderators was that it should be binned and never spoken of again.

Many psychiatric hospitals are like prisons - they're certainly nothing like hospitals. I've known of people who've gone in, been so seriously and severely abused, that they felt the only way they could avoid being sectioned again was to off themselves. This country hasn't given a fuck about mental health for decades…

perhaps you should remind yourself of what i've been saying for a long time now, namely that the uk won't in fact leave the eu and i envisage this being resolved through some withdrawal of article 50, most likely following a general election.

I wish I had your optimism, PM… Brexit fucking terrifies me. I only get £600 a month and I am, for all intents and purposes, homeless. No deal will definitely ensure I'm trapped here forever. Not sure about the GE, though, Corbyn's even less popular than Johnson (and the thought of a Corbyn government fills me with as much dread as BJ - sorry, ABdePJ - becoming PM did…does).

And as of yesterday, the pound is at parity with the euro*, and trading at its lowest rate since whenever with the dollar ($1.20) and so, as some have been quick to point out on Twatter, we have, effectively, joined the euro.

*According to XE, it's rallied a little - now €1.0737, hasn't changed against the dollar, though.

It isn't optimism, I simply believe none of our crop of politicians has there wherewithal to extricate the UK from the eu without collapsing the economy and indeed the union. The American Congress are making noises that they won't approve any trade agreement if Ireland negatively affected. So it isn't your actual optimism but imo a realistic assessment of the situation.

I agree with all that, but reckon the current apology for a government is incapable of working out that Brexit would be inadvisable in those circs.

I completely agree.

Why doesn't Johnson try something really radical? Revoke Article 50, then call a GE.

 

[Argonia]

Because he doesn't want to revoke Article 50?

Because that would destroy the Tories.

Yep.

You don't become a party leader & PM, to then destroy the party & hand over the PM job to Corbyn.

I agree, some insitutions are not fit for purpose. I'm very sorry for your acquaintances experiences. We need a hugh investment in community mental health services to help prevent further abuses.

I'm not certain that Corbyn would be elected. The eternal frictions within the party are getting worse, McDonnell (who I must say is looking increasingly deranged), directly contradicting Corbyn re a second Scottish referendum for example.

Oh, come on mate, if Johnson revoked Article 50 after promising Brexit on 31st Oct., and went for a GE, he would be dead meat, the party would fall apart, and a Labour/SNP government would be in power.

The only 2 reasons the Tories elected Johnson as leader was (1) get us out of the EU & destroy the Brexit Party, and (2) thereafter their best chance of winning a majority after a GE.

I should have included 'deliberately' in that post.

One can hope, or perhaps it is more a dream. I will predict though, we won't be out at the end of October.

Oh, BTW WTF have you been up to in Worthing?

You mean the chemical incident on the beach that left people vomiting?

Nowt to do with me, gov.

Something similiar happened a year or two ago, along the coast in East Sussex (Hastings & Eastbourne), nothing was proven, but the suggestion was it was (a) a ship dumping shit offshore, or (b) pollution blown across from France.
